Objective To study the effect of acute non-isovolemic hemodilution (ANIH) plus tranexamic acid on bleeding and coagulation factors. Methods Forty-two patients with brain tumor under general anesthesia were randomly divided into group N and group T with 21 patients in each group. Group N was given ANIH , while group T was given tranexamic acid and ANIH. Bleeding, transfusion, urine volume were recorded. Coagulation factors and D-dimer were detected one day before and after surgery. Hemoglobin was recorded before and after ANIH and after auto-blood was transfused. Results There was less bleeding in group T. Hemoglobin in group T was higher after transfusion. No significant difference was found in Group T and group N in terms of urine volume and transfusion rate. Both the two groups had no difference on variation of coagulation factors. Conclusion ANIH with tranexamic acid has no significant effect on coagulation but produces synergetic effect on decreasing bleeding. They can be applied in surgery of brain tumor safely.

Purpose To compare the CTPA image quality by using contrast agent with different concentration at different injection rate so as to provide suitable contrast agent injection for patients.Materials and Methods A total of 346 patients with suspected acute pulmonary embolism who required to undergo CTPA examination were randomly assigned to high (370 mgI/ml) and low (320 mgI/ml) concentration groups,and each group was further divided into six subgroups with different velocity (3.0,3.2,3.4,3.6,3.8 and 4.0 ml/s).The CT value of the main pulmonary artery,right pulmonary upper lobe artery and right lung under leaf posterior basal segmental artery was measured.Results In the high concentration group,there were no significant differences in pulmonary artery average CT value,noise,single to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) among the subgroups with different velocity (P>0.05).In the low concentration group,the difference was not statistically significant in pulmonary artery average CT value (P>0.05) among the subgroups with different velocity;however,the noise,SNR and CNR of 3.0 ml/s subgroup had significant differences compared with other subgroups (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in average CT value of pulmonary artery between the subgroups with the same velocity in the two concentration groups (P>0.05).In addition,except that the noise,SNR and CNR of 3.0 ml/s subgroup showed significant differences with other subgroups either in high concentration group or in low concentration group (P<0.05),there were no significant differences in the above-mentioned parameters among other subgroups with the same velocity in both groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Compared with high concentration contrast agent,the image obtained by using low concentration contrast agent shows no difference in pulmonary artery average CT value but with low iodine flow and iodine flow rate,which can reduce the risks of contrast media induced nephropathy (CIN) and contrast agent extravasation.

Objective To investigate the effect of acute non-isovolemic hemodilution in combination with tranexamic acid on cycle function blood gas and electrolytes with brain tumor surgery. Methods Forty-two patients undergoing brain tumor were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in group A received ANIH plus tranexamic acid , while patients in group B received ANIH alone. Collected blood was transfused before the end of surgery. HR、CVP、MAP,hemoglubin, blood gas and plasma electrolytes were respectively recorded before ANIH(T1), at 0 min (T1) and 1 h (T2) after ANIH, and at the end of operation (T4). Results There were no significant changes in HR, CVP, MAP. At T2, T3, T4, Hb, Hct in both two groups lower than those at T1(P <0.05); at T4, Hb, Hct in group A were higher than those in group B. There were no significant changes in pH , PaO2, PaCO2, BE between the both two groups. There were no significant changes in Na +, Cl-, Ca2+and K+between the both two groups. Conclusion ANIH has little effect on the cycle function and blood gas electrolyte. ANIH in combination with TA has a section blood effect. It can be used in the brain tumor operation with TA security.

Objective To investigate the effects of controlled hypotension (CH) combined with tranexamic acid (TA) on peri-operative blood loss and coagulation function in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery. Methods Forty patients undergoing brain tumor surgery were randomly allocated into group A and group B with 20 patients in each group. Patients in group A received CH alone, while patients in group B received CH combined with TA. Coagulation factors and d-dimer levels were measured 24 hours before and after surgery. Amount of blood loss, intravenous fluid transfused, urine output and postoperative drainage were recorded. Results D-dimer levels of 24 hours after surgery increased compared with that of 24 hours before surgery. In group B, the d-dimer level increased more than that of group A (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in coagulation factor levels between group A and group B. Amount of blood loss, intravenous fluid transfused and postoperative drainage flows of patients in group B were lower than that in group A (P < 0.05). There were no significant changes in urine output and fluid infusion volume between two groups. Conclusion CH compared with TA can reduce perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing brain tumor surgery , with no obvious coagulant function abnormality. Collectively, it should be a safe and reliable method for clinical application.
